Jeremiah 48
1 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Moab: Disaster is coming to the town of Nebo, because it will be destroyed. The town of Kiriathaim will be captured and humiliated; the fortress will be torn down and its people shamed.
| نُبُوءَةٌ عَنِ الْمُوَآبِيِّينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «وَيْلٌ لِنَبُو لأَنَّهَا أَصْبَحَتْ أَطْلالاً. لَحِقَ الْعَارُ بِقَرْيَتَايِمَ وَتَمَّ الاسْتِيلاءُ عَلَيْهَا. خَزِيَ الْحِصْنُ وَارْتَعَبَ. | ١ |
2 No one praises Moab anymore. People in Heshbon are plotting, “We will destroy Moab as a nation. People of the town of Madmen, we will silence you too—you will be attacked by swords and chased down.”
| زَالَ فَخْرُ مُوآبَ وَتَآمَرُوا فِي حَشْبُونَ عَلَيْهَا شَرّاً قَائِلِينَ: هَيَّا نَهْدِمُهَا فَلا تَكُونُ أُمَّةً بَعْدُ. وَأَنْتِ أَيْضاً يَا مَدْمِينُ، يُهَيْمِنُ عَلَيْكِ صَمْتُ الْمَوْتِ وَيُلاحِقُكِ السَّيْفُ. | ٢ |
3 Listen to the cries from Horonaim: “Violence and terrible destruction!”
| اسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ صُرَاخٍ مِنْ حُورُونَايِمَ: قَدْ حَلَّ بِنَا هَلاكٌ وَدَمَارٌ عَظِيمَانِ. | ٣ |
4 Moab will be smashed. Hear the little ones crying for help.
| قَدْ تَحَطَّمَتْ مُوآبُ، وَبَلَغَ صُرَاخُهَا صُوغَرَ. | ٤ |
5 People weep as they go up to Luhith; and as they come down to Horonaim their sad cries at the destruction echo around.
| إِذْ عَلَى مُرْتَفَعِ لُوحِيتَ يَصْعَدُونَ بَاكِينَ بِمَرَارَةٍ، وَعَلَى مُنْحَدَرِ حُورُونَايِمَ يَتَرَدَّدُ صُرَاخُ الانْكِسَارِ. | ٥ |
6 Run away! Save yourselves! Be like a scrawny tamarisk tree in the desert!
| اهْرُبُوا وَانْجُوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. كُونُوا كَعَرْعَرٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٦ |
7 It's because you put your confidence in what you do and what you own that you too will be captured. Your god Chemosh will be taken into exile along with his priests and leaders.
| لأَنَّكُمُ اتَّكَلْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَكُنُوزِكُمْ، سَتُسْبَوْنَ أَيْضاً وَيَقَعُ الصَّنَمُ كَمُوشُ أَيْضاً أَسِيراً وَيُؤْخَذُ إِلَى الْمَنْفَى مَعَ كَهَنَتِهِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ. | ٧ |
8 The invaders will attack every town; not a single one will escape destruction. The valley will be ruined, and the plain will be destroyed, for the Lord has spoken.
| وَيَزْحَفُ الْمُدَمِّرُ إِلَى كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ، فَلا تُفْلِتُ مِنْهُ إِحْدَاهَا، فَيَبِيدُ الْوَادِي، وَيَتْلَفُ السَّهْلُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ قَضَى. | ٨ |
9 Put up gravestones in Moab, because the country will become a wasteland. Its towns will be turned into ruins where no one lives.
| أَعْطُوا مُوآبَ أَجْنِحَةً، فَيُحَلِّقَ طَائِراً. قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ مُدُنُهُ أَطْلالاً مَهْجُورَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ. | ٩ |
10 A curse on those who don't do the Lord's work properly. A curse on those who don't use their swords to kill.
| مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلِ الرَّبِّ مُتَهَاوِناً، وَمَلْعُونٌ مَنْ حَظَرَ عَلَى سَيْفِهِ الدَّمَ. | ١٠ |
11 The people of Moab have been living comfortably since the country was founded. They're like wine that hasn't been disturbed, not poured from one container to another. So the taste and fragrance remains the same. They haven't experienced exile.
| قَدْ قَضَى مُوآبُ حَيَاةً مُتْرَفَةً مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ، كَالْخَمْرِ الْمُسْتَقِرِّ عَلَى عَكَرِهِ. لَمْ يُفْرَغْ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَى السَّبْيِ قَطُّ لِذَلِكَ ظَلَّ مُحْتَفِظاً بِطَعْمِهِ وَلَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ رَائِحَتُهُ. | ١١ |
12 But watch out, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will send them “winemakers” who will pour them out like wine. They will empty out the Moabites, and smash them like jars.
| هَا هِيَ أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أُرْسِلُ فِيهَا إِلَيْهِ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ سَاكِبِي الْجِرَارِ، فَيَسْكُبُونَهُ وَيُفْرِغُونَ جِرَارَهُ وَيُحَطِّمُونَ دِنَانَهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Then the Moabites will feel let down by Chemosh, just as the people of Israel felt let down when they trusted in the golden calf idol at Bethel.
| فَيَعْتَرِي الْمُوآبِيِّينَ الْخَجَلُ مِنْ كَمُوشَ، كَمَا اعْتَرَى الْخَجَلُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، مُتَّكَلِهِمْ. | ١٣ |
14 How on earth can you Moabites say, “We're heroes, strong men ready to fight in battle”?
| كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّنَا أَبْطَالٌ وَجَبَابِرَةُ حَرْبٍ؟ | ١٤ |
15 Moab is going to be destroyed and its towns conquered. Its finest young men will be killed, declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
| إِنَّ مُوآبَ سَيُدَمَّرُ، وَتُغْزَى مُدُنُهُ، وَتَنْزِلُ نُخْبَةُ شُبَّانِهِ لِلذَّبْحِ، يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١٥ |
16 Moab's doom is about to happen; destruction is rushing down on them.
| قَدْ أَزِفَتْ بَلِيَّةُ مُوآبَ وَمِحْنَتُهُ أَقْبَلَتْ مُسْرِعَةً. | ١٦ |
17 Mourn for them, all you surrounding nations, everyone who knows them! Let others know how the great scepter has been smashed, the rod that once proudly ruled!
| فَارْثُوهُ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ وَسَائِرَ الْعَارِفِينَ اسْمَهُ. قُولُوا انْكَسَرَ صَوْلَجَانُ الْعِزِّ وَقَضِيبُ الْمَجْدِ. | ١٧ |
18 Come down from your glory and sit on the dusty ground, you who live in Dibon, for Moab's destroyer will come and attack you, destroying your fortresses.
| اهْبِطِي مِنَ الْمَجْدِ وَاجْلِسِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ الْظَّمْأَى أَيَّتُهَا السَّاكِنَةُ فِي دِيبُونَ، لأَنَّ مُدَمِّرَ مُوآبَ قَدْ زَحَفَ عَلَيْكِ وَهَدَمَ حُصُونَكِ. | ١٨ |
19 Stand at the roadside and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the men and women who are running away to escape, “What's happened?”
| قِفِي عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ وَرَاقِبِي يَا سَاكِنَةَ عَرُوعِيرَ. اسْأَلِي الْهَارِبَ وَالنَّاجِيَةَ بِنَفْسِهَا: مَاذَا جَرَى؟ | ١٩ |
20 Moab has been humiliated because it has been defeated. Weep and wail! Shout out beside the River Arnon that Moab has been destroyed!
| فَيَأْتِيَ الْجَوَابُ: قَدْ لَحِقَ الْخِزْيُ بِمُوآبَ، لأَنَّهُ صَارَ أَطْلالاً فَوَلْوِلُوا وَأَعْوِلُوا. أَذِيعُوا فِي أَرْنُونَ أَنَّ مُوآبَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ خَرَاباً. | ٢٠ |
21 Punishment has arrived on the towns of the high plain—on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
| قَدْ وَقَعَ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى أَرْضِ السَّهْلِ، وَعَلَى حُولُونَ، وَعَلَى يَهْصَةَ، وَعَلَى مَيْفَعَةَ، | ٢١ |
22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
| وَعَلَى دِيبُونَ، وَعَلَى نَبُو، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ دَبْلَتَايِمَ، | ٢٢ |
23 on Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
| وَعَلَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ جَامُولَ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ مَعُونَ، | ٢٣ |
24 on Kerioth, Bozrah, and on all the towns of Moab, whether far away or nearby.
| وَعَلَى قَرْيُوتَ، وَعَلَى بُصْرَةَ، وَعَلَى كَافَّةِ مُدُنِ بِلادِ مُوآبَ الْبَعِيدَةِ وَالْقَرِيبَةِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Moab's strength is gone; their power has been broken, declares the Lord.
| قَدْ كُسِرَ قَرْنُ مُوآبَ، وَتَحَطَّمَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٥ |
26 Make the people of Moab drunk, because they defied the Lord. Then they will roll around in their own vomit, as people laugh at them.
| أَسْكِرُوهُ حَتَّى يَتَمَرَّغَ فِي قَيْئِهِ، وَيُصْبِحَ مَهْزَأَةً، لأَنَّهُ تَغَطْرَسَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ |
27 Didn't you Moabites used to ridicule the Israelites? But they weren't ever found to be thieves, were they? Yet whenever you talk about them, you shake your heads in contempt.
| أَلَمْ يُصْبِحْ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَهْزَأَةً لَدَيْكَ؟ أَكَانَ بَيْنَ اللُّصُوصِ حَتَّى كُنْتَ تَهُزُّ رَأْسَكَ بِاحْتِقَارٍ كُلَّمَا جَاءَ ذِكْرُهُ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ؟ | ٢٧ |
28 You people living in Moab, run from your towns, go and live among the rocks. Be like a dove nesting on the cliffs at the entrance to a ravine.
| اهْجُرُوا الْمُدُنَ وَأَقِيمُوا بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ يَا أَهْلَ مُوآبَ، وَكُونُوا كَالْحَمَامَةِ الَّتِي تُعَشِّشُ عِنْدَ حَافَةِ فَوَّهَةِ الْكَهْفِ. | ٢٨ |
29 We know all about how pompous Moabites are, how extremely proud and conceited they are, arrogantly thinking so highly of themselves.
| قَدْ سَمِعْنَا عَنْ عَجْرَفَةِ مُوآبَ الْمُفْرِطَةِ. إِنَّهُ شَدِيدُ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ. سَمِعْنَا عَنْ غَطْرَسَتِهِ وَتَشَامُخِهِ وَغُرُورِهِ، وَعَنِ ارْتِفَاعِ قَلْبِهِ. | ٢٩ |
30 I'm well aware of how disrespectful they are, declares the Lord, but it doesn't matter. They make empty boasts, and what they do is just as empty.
| قَدْ عَرَفْتُ كِبْرِيَاءَهُ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّمَا زَهْوُهُ بَاطِلٌ، وَتَفَاخُرُهُ عَدِيمُ الْجَدْوَى. | ٣٠ |
31 So I will weep for Moab; I will cry out for all the Moabites; I will mourn for the people of Kir-heres.
| لِذَلِكَ أَنُوحُ عَلَى مُوآبَ وَأُعْوِلُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِهِ، وَأَئِنُّ عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ. | ٣١ |
32 will weep for you, people of the town of Sibmah with its vineyards, more than I weep for the town of Jazer. Your vines have spread to the sea, and all the way to Jazer. But the destroyer has stolen your harvest of summer fruit and grapes.
| أَبْكِي عَلَيْكِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ عَلَى يَعْزِيرَ يَا جَفْنَةَ سَبْمَةَ الَّتِي امْتَدَّتْ فُرُوعُهَا حَتَّى الْبَحْرِ، بَلْ بَلَغَتْ بَحْرَ يَعْزِيرَ، فَإِنَّ الْمُدَمِّرَ قَدِ انْقَضَّ عَلَى حَصَادِكِ النَّاضِجِ وَقِطَافِكِ. | ٣٢ |
33 There's no more celebration and happiness in Moab's orchards and fields. I have stopped the grape juice flowing from the winepresses. No one shouts for joy as they tread out the grapes. No, their shouts now are not because of joy!
| قَدْ تَلاشَى الْفَرَحُ وَالْغِبْطَةُ مِنْ بَسَاتِينِ مُوآبَ وَمِنْ حُقُولِهِ، وَأُوْقِفَ تَدَفُّقُ الْخَمْرِ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِرِ فَلا يَدُوسُهَا دَائِسٌ بِهُتَافٍ، بَلْ تَعْلُو صَرَخَاتٌ لَا هُتَافَ فِيهَا. | ٣٣ |
34 Cries for help reach from Heshbon to Elealeh and all the way to Jahaz. They're shouting out from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah, for even the water in the Nimrim Brook has dried up.
| يَرْتَفِعُ الصُّرَاخُ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى أَلْعَالَةَ فَيَاهَصَ. أَطْلَقُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ مِنْ صُوغَرَ إِلَى حُورُونَايِمَ حَتَّى الْعِجْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، لأَنَّ مِيَاهَ نِمْرِيمَ أَيْضاً قَدْ نَضَبَتْ. | ٣٤ |
35 I'm going to finish off those in Moab who sacrifice on the pagan high places and burn incense to their gods, declares the Lord.
| وَأُبِيدُ مِنْ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، مَنْ يُقَرِّبُ ذَبِيحَةً عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَةٍ، وَمَنْ يُحْرِقُ بَخُوراً لِآلِهَةِ الْوَثَنِ. | ٣٥ |
36 So I mourn inside like a flute playing a sad song for Moab; like a flute playing a funeral tune for the people of Kir-heres, because they've lost everything of value that they worked for.
| لِذَلِكَ يَئِنُّ قَلْبِي عَلَى مُوآبَ كَأَنِينِ مِزْمَارٍ، وَيَنُوحُ فُؤَادِي عَلَى رِجَالِ قِيرَ حَارِسَ كَنَوْحِ النَّايِ، فَإِنَّ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ الَّتِي اكْتَسَبُوهَا قَدْ تَبَدَّدَتْ. | ٣٦ |
37 As signs of their mourning, every head is shaved, every beard is trimmed, every hand has a gash, and every waist is wearing sackcloth.
| قَدْ أَصْبَحَ كُلُّ رَأْسٍ أَقْرَعَ، وَكُلُّ لِحْيَةٍ مَحْلُوقَةً، تَجَرَّحَتِ الأَيْدِي وَتَمَنْطَقَتِ الأَحْقَاءُ بِالْمُسُوحِ. | ٣٧ |
38 Everyone is mourning on all the flat roofs and streets of Moab, because I have smashed the country like a jar nobody wants, declares the Lord.
| شَاعَ الْنَّوْحُ عَلَى سُطُوحِ مُوآبَ وَفِي شَوَارِعِهَا كُلِّهَا، لأَنِّي حَطَّمْتُ مُوآبَ كَإِنَاءٍ لَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ رَغْبَةٌ فِيهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٨ |
39 Moab is completely shattered! Listen to them cry! See how the Moabites turn away in shame! All the surrounding nations are horrified at what's happened to the country, and ridicule its people.
| لَشَدَّ مَا تَحَطَّمْتَ! لَشَدَّ مَا يُوَلْوِلُونَ: كَيْفَ أَدْبَرَ مُوآبُ مُجَلَّلاً بِالْخِزْيِ؟ قَدْ صَارَ مَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَرُعْبٍ لِكُلِّ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ». | ٣٩ |
40 This is what the Lord says: Watch as an enemy like an eagle swoops down, spreading its wings as it attacks Moab.
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «انْظُرُوا، هَا وَاحِدٌ يَطِيرُ مُسْرِعاً كَالنَّسْرِ بَاسِطاً جَنَاحَيْهِ ضِدَّ مُوآبَ. | ٤٠ |
41 Kirioth has been conquered, and the fortresses captured. At that time Moab's warriors will be as scared as a woman in labor.
| فَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَى الْمُدُنِ، وَتَسْقُطُ الْحُصُونُ، وَتُصْبِحُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قُلُوبُ مُحَارِبِي مُوآبَ كَقَلْبِ امْرَأَةٍ فِي مَخَاضِهَا. | ٤١ |
42 Moab will cease to exist as a nation because they defied the Lord.
| يَهْلِكُ مُوآبُ وَلا يَبْقَى أُمَّةً، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَغَطْرَسَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٤٢ |
43 You people living in Moab, what's waiting for you are terror, traps, and snares, declares the Lord.
| يَتَرَصَّدُكُمُ الرُّعْبُ وَالْحُفْرَةُ وَالْفَخُّ يَا أَهْلَ مُوآبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٤٣ |
44 You will run away in terror and fall into a trap, and when you climb out of the trap, you'll be caught in a snare. I will do this to the Moabites at the time when they're punished, declares the Lord.
| مَنْ يَهْرُبُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ يَقَعُ فِي الْحُفْرَةِ، وَمَنْ يَصْعَدُ مِنَ الْحُفْرَةِ يَعْلَقُ بِالْفَخِّ، لأَنِّي أَجْلِبُ عَلَى مُوآبَ هَذِهِ الْمِحَنَ فِي سَنَةِ عِقَابِهِمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٤٤ |
45 Those who run away will be left defenseless in Heshbon where they went for protection, because fire blazes out from Heshbon, a fire from where Sihon once reigned. It burns up the whole country of Moab and its defiant people.
| فِي ظِلِّ حَشْبُونَ وَقَفَ الْهَارِبُونَ خَائِرِي الْقُوَى، لأَنَّ نَاراً انْدَلَعَتْ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، وَشُعْلَةً مِنْ سِيحُونَ، فَالْتَهَمَتْ رُكْنَ مُوآبَ وَهَامَةَ الْمُتَبَجِّحِينَ الْغَوْغَائِيِّينَ. | ٤٥ |
46 What a disaster has come to you Moabites! The people of Chemosh have been wiped out. Your sons and daughters have been taken prisoner and have gone into exile.
| وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ! قَدْ بَادَ شَعْبُ كَمُوشَ، لأَنَّ بَنِيكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ أُخِذُوا إِلَى السَّبْيِ. | ٤٦ |
47 But even so, later on, I will bring the people of Moab back from exile, declares the Lord. This is the end of the description of the judgment on Moab.
| وَلَكِنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ مُوآبَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الآتِيَةِ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. إِلَى هُنَا خِتَامُ الْقَضَاءِ عَلَى مُوآبَ. | ٤٧ |
